5. I assume their costs went up about 20%.

They've raised prices up to 50%. Here's an idea. If you don't absolutely need something they just raised the price on by 50%, don't buy it. The price will eventually come down. I've watched Wendy's and Starbucks raise prices by 50%. Wendy's is hiring at "up to $11 an hour". They have $9 hamburgers and they only pay up to $11 an hour? I don't see lines at those places anymore so their customers are reacting. I don't go unless I have a coupon and even then it's ridiculous. 2 skimpy Arby's roast beef and small drink that's mostly ice, with coupon, $8.65.
